Connecting to web for finance index data

Hi,

 

I am clicking on 'Get data' then clicking 'Web' and then entering the URL of the website where I have found some data but Power BI says it doesn't recognise the data within the URL.

 

Does anyone know of a good source to get a table of finacial index data, for example the FTSE100 or S&P500 that can link to Power BI?

 

Thanks,

James

Hi @some_bih. I've read this docuemnt already, my issue is that not every website has their data structured in a way that Power BI can easily read.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source for financial market data?

 

Thanks
